Meh. I bet these stories are incredibly original and unique, but they just never stood out to me. The last anime-type film that I saw was something with 'Delivery Service' in the title. It was about a girl and her cat..

Will Arnett and Amy Poehler's work thankfully didn't call attention to itself. You're right, it wasn't bad. I've just never preferred them to the original Japanese language tracks. At least this one didn't replace my favorite voice with Billy Crystal.

This is a very good animated film from Studio Ghibli, but even for a Ghibli DVD/BD release the extras are pretty thin. Not even a subtitled interview or anything from the behind the scenes except for a lame Disney music video. Oh well, I'll be picking up the BD/DVD combo anyway.
